GENERAL BUSINESS
1. Downtown Plan/Code Discussion.
Planning and Development Director Devin Hillam presented a history for the creation
of a downtown area for Chubbuck and the need for creating a policy/code that is different
from the rest of the City. Mr. Hillam went over the four goals that he would like to
accomplish with the downtown code/policy. Which included Goal 1: A transportation
network will be developed which will promote enhanced pedestrian and bicycle mobility
within and to the downtown area. Goal 2: Through a combination of street, sidewalk, on -
street parking, landscaping, lighting, setbacks and architectural design requirements, the
public realm is inviting, accessible, aesthetic, and safe and ensure that the district is
visually cohesive. Goal 3: Mixed land uses and the built form in the downtown area will
create synergy in the region which draws individuals, commerce, and events throughout
the week and throughout the day. Goal 4: The downtown district will function through a
combination of private, quasi -public, and public cooperation.
Planning Manager Don Matson presented samples of street/frontage standards from
other downtown areas.
2. Acceptance of the City Council's Appointment for the Land Use and Development
Commission to also serve as the Impact Fee Committee.
Mendenhall presented that the Mayor would like to appoint the Land Use and
Development Commission to also function as the City's Impact Fee Committee. The City
Council approved the Mayor's recommendation conditional upon acceptance from the
Board.
Hillam stated that the Commission currently meets all the requirements under Idaho
Code to also function as the Impact Fee Committee.
The Commission asked about adding other members from the community to the
Impact Fee Committee. Attorney Tom Holmes stated that the Board can invite members
from the community to provide feedback when they are making a recommendation to the
City Council. Under Idaho Code if the Land Use Commission also functions as the
Impact Fee Committee then only those members that have been appointed to the Land
Use Cormnission, can serve as the Impact Fee Committee.
